The focus on the war in Afghanistan has prevented the United States from developing a South Asia strategy rooted in the relative strategic importance of the nations in the region. India, a stable democracy enjoying rapid growth, clearly has the most potential as a strategic partner. Pakistan, as the home of al Qaeda leadership and over 60 nuclear weapons, is the greatest threat to regional stability and growth. Yet Afghanistan absorbs the vast majority of U.S. effort in the region. The United States needs to develop a genuine regional strategy. This paper argues that making the economic growth and social reform essential to the stability of Pakistan a higher priority than the conflict in Afghanistan is a core requirement of such a strategy.

India's impressive economic growth over the last two and a half decades has brought India's role and interests to the forefront of global politics and statecraft. Importantly, it has put India into a comparative perspective with China, another aspiring Asian great power poised to stiffen competition for resources and influence worldwide. Both are resource-hungry and rapidly emerging powers seeking a new place and role in the global and regional orders. Both are also strategic rivals and consider their immediate neighborhood of Central Asia of growing strategic importance to their grand strategies. For now, China has outperformed India in Central Asia on all counts, securing the region as a key resource base and platform for power projection. India launched the "Connect Central Asia" policy in 2012 to shore up its presence, but the policy has not yet secured for it even a remotely comparable stake in the region due to aspects of India's strategic culture and geopolitical constraints. Meanwhile, the U.S. strategic presence in the region leaves much to be desired. The United States is withdrawing from Afghanistan without major political or military gains from the conflict that has cost it and its partners a fortune in lives and money. The future of its military infrastructure and relationships with countries in Central-South Asia is a big unknown, with regional partners equating the U.S. military pullout with its waning commitment to support the regional economic and security order. To help unlock their strategic potentials, Delhi and Washington should join forces and cultivate a strategic partnership that makes Central Asia its major pillar. Until then, neither Delhi, nor Washington is likely to succeed. AUDIENCE: This insightful policy guide may be valued by international relations professionals and policymakers working on issues ranging from U.S. and Indian policy in Central-South Asia to U.-S Indian, Sinio-Indian, and Indo-Pakistani relations.Students undertaking research for writing essays on international affairs pertaining to the relationship between India, China, the United States, and the Central Asian region may be interested in this perspective.

This book examines from Sri Lankan perspectives the changing position of Sri Lanka in South Asia brought about by the internationalisation of ethnic conflict, and the increasing strategic importance to India of Sri Lanka. The major feature of the book is the analysis of the geo-strategic scenario in South Asia in relation to the new situation which has been created by the signing of the Indo-Sri Lankan agreement in July 1987. Various contributors examine the agreement in the context of the strategic parameters pertaining to the South Asian region and discuss the extent to which these parameters are themsleves influenced by great power rivlaries. Three contributors explore the specifically subcontinental and regional aspects of the strategic scenario; two of them deal with the extra-regional dimension; while one paper considers whether the Indo-Sri Lankan Agreement has had the effect of placing Sri Lanka in the same position which Finland occupies in relation to the Soviet Union. The remaining essays discuss the present statutes and future prospects of the Agreement.

Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject Earth Science / Geography - Geopolitics, University of Dhaka (Dhaka University), course: IR-407(GEOPOLITICS), language: English, abstract: Nepal is a one of the landlocked countries in the world. It has no access to the sea and it needs to deal with its neighboring countries for many issues. Geopolitically Nepal has drawn much more attention for its natural beauty of the Himalayas and landlocked reality that make it to compromise with its neighbors for its own economic and strategic interests. Determinants and the capability to reverse those to geo-strategy influence one's foreign policy. Having the Himalayas, river belts and strategic boundary and road links, Nepal has some positive and influential determinants. They can formulate effective foreign policy by using the realities properly as it is strategically, politically and economically important in this region especially to China and India. Stability and effective control of this land is geopolitically influential for two great power neighbors. Here we look on the factors that determine Nepal foreign policy and managing its foreign relations with its neighboring countries and in the international arena.

Central Asia has been considered as part of India’s strategic neighbourhood; however India’s engagement with Central Asia has been weak due to many contextual reasons. Earlier when the nascent Central Asian nations acquired their independent status after the demise of the Soviet Union India was preoccupied with its own economic problems. Discovery of hydrocarbons and minerals enhanced the strategic importance of Central Asian Republics. The secular polity of these nations also holds tremendous importance for India as the forces of radicalism and extremism especially those emanating from the Af-Pak belt would have adverse impact on the regional security. Major powers are also involved in Central Asia for securing their own interests. This volume looks at the strategic environment in Central Asia, the evolving security situation in Afghanistan that is of concern to Central Asian states as well as India, the non-traditional threats which are becoming more important than the conventional threats, the economic aspects of engagement with Central Asia, prospects of defence and security cooperation and the way forward. The contributors to the volume are well known experts, diplomats and strategic professionals who have looked at every aspect of India-central Asia engagement and have suggested a way forward.

A clear-eyed look at modern India's role in Asia's and the broader world One of India's most distinguished foreign policy thinkers addresses the many questions facing India as it seeks to find its way in the increasingly complex world of Asian geopolitics. A former Indian foreign secretary and national security adviser, Shivshankar Menon traces India's approach to the shifting regional landscape since its independence in 1947. From its leading role in the “nonaligned” movement during the cold war to its current status as a perceived counterweight to China, India often has been an after-thought for global leaders—until they realize how much they needed it. Examining India's own policy choices throughout its history, Menon focuses in particular on India's responses to the rise of China, as well as other regional powers. Menon also looks to the future and analyzes how India's policies are likely to evolve in response to current and new challenges. As India grows economically and gains new stature across the globe, both its domestic preoccupations and international choices become more significant. India itself will become more affected by what happens in the world around it. Menon makes a powerful geopolitical case for an India increasingly and positively engaged in Asia and the broader world in pursuit of a pluralistic, open, and inclusive world order.
